TL/DR: DraftKings offers different promos on the exact same bet to different users, effectively altering the attractiveness of the offer and fundamentally offering certain players better odds. The Specifics: I’m located in Indiana. Online sports wagering became legal last year. I’ve been active on multiple sites since last December. Earlier this week I received an email from DraftKings about a promotional offer. The bet being offered was that Zion Williamson would score the first field goal in the Pelicans game at the Lakers (Tuesday, Feb 25). The bet offered +550 odds. The promo is that you would receive $1 towards a free bet for every point, rebound, and assist for Zion that night. The required minimum bet was $75. Zion’s stats prior to this game were 22.8 pts, 7.2 rebounds, & 2.2 assists. Assuming he would get his averages that night, you could expect about $31 back for a free bet. $75 bet at +550 would yield a profit of $412.50. If you deduct the $31 returned from $75 (ignore for now that the $31 is for a free bet, not cash), you are now starting with a net bet of $44. Getting $412.50 back on a $44 bet changes the odds to about +938. You’re now getting 9.4 to 1 odds for a 9 to 1 actual odds. Not really an attractive offer, so I declined. I received a text later from a friend asking if I saw the offer. I replied to him “Yea, I saw it, but declined. It might be an OK risk at $50, but not for $75.” He then forwarded to me a copy of his email. His offer was IDENTICAL to mine, except the minimum bet required was only $50. Now doing the above analysis. A $50 bet at +550 will yield a $275 profit. If you deduct the $31 returned from the $50 bet, you are now starting with a bet of $19. Getting $275 profit on a $19 bet changes the odds to about +1450. So now you’re getting 14.5 to 1 odds for 9 to 1 actual odds. A much more attractive offer. (My math may be a bit off, I’m not sure. I’m still pretty new at doing this type of analysis. Even so, this is obviously a much more attractive offer). I don’t know why we received different offers, but I’m assuming they used some type of algorithm that took average bet size into consideration. I have been much more active and with larger bets than my friend. I’m guessing the offer was trying to get each of us to bet a bit more, but that is pure speculation. I emailed support and asked them why they are doing this, spelling out what I did above. Their response was: “All targeted promotions are ultimately decided and sent out to users at the discretion of our Marketing Team. If you do not like any of the offers that are sent to you, you do not need to participate in anything you do not want to. Please be advised that DraftKings has a strict one user-one account policy and that we do not allow for users to share accounts, payment methods, or discuss details of their accounts with one another.” Really, we’re not supposed to discuss details of our accounts? Not realistic. We spend time together watching sports, drinking, having cigars, etc. Of course we talk about it. I withdrew nearly all of my DraftKings money immediately that night. I left a little to finish clearing a current bonus, but I will withdraw that as soon as my bonus is cleared. I don’t believe that this could happen at a brick and mortar casino. When you walk up to the counter, they do not know those details about you. In my mind, this is definitely unethical and may even be illegal. I get that we were offered the exact same bet (Zion first basked, +550 odds). But the way they structured the promo essentially offers better odds to only some users. That’s why I question legality. Now I have a significant amount of doubt when looking at DraftKings. I log in with a unique user-id and password. At that moment, they know everything about my betting history. I’m also greeted by a ribbon across the top with current promotions, odds boosts, and various specials. How can I now possibly trust that what I’m seeing when I log in is the same across the board for all users? Are they tweaking the odds seen on my screen vs. what others see based on my usage & history? It would be very easy to do that. In my mind, they’ve already done it with the promotional emails, so why wouldn’t they do it on the screen? I really don’t know if this is an overreaction on my part or not. But on Tuesday night, I was livid that this happened. I’ve calmed down a bit since then, but I’m still not happy. Also, I plan to contact the Indiana Gaming Commission with the above details. If they are not concerned, then I guess I’m not either. But I won’t be using DraftKings anymore until I’m convinced that this practice is stopped. We have at least 2 other legal options here and, so far, I haven’t seen anything about either of them that gives me concern. Maybe they do the same thing, maybe not. I just haven’t seen any evidence yet.

What should I do about the crew of Catfisher's, that tried to extort me, because they thought I was worth $600 Million?
I would like to keep this brief, in case this is not the correct sub . 2 weeks ago, I attempted to help what I thought was a women (Angie) that had too much to drink/smoke, passed out in a mans car that she met the night before, and her friend/employer (Paulie) left her stranded 90 miles from her home. Turns out it was all a setup, and they where a crew of extortionist and Catfisher's. I spent my birthday, and 4th of July enjoying Angie's company, who seemed to lack confidence, was fearful of everything, missing her upper dentures, and lacked a "Traditional" beauty, was engaging for her kindness and hard luck life story. I formed a protective bond, took her shopping for clothes, dining, and retrieved her missing upper dentures from 90 miles away. When Paulie reached out concerned because he had not heard from her,, 36 hours after abandoning Angie and blocking her, I was proud that she refused to engage him. In reality Angie, Paulie and a crew where attempting to compile evidence that I had drugged her, and kidnapped her, in the hopes of exploiting a large payday. On day 4 contacted 7 different law enforcement and security agencies, attempting to file a missing persons report. I found out on day 5, and contacted the Butler County Ohio Sheriffs office (Angie and Paulie's "Home" county). I was asked to put Angie on the phone, where she recited what I can only believe to be the standard questions you would ask a kidnap victim, twice within an hour, once with a Sergeant, and once with a Detective. I assumed that Paulie was using Angie as a "White Slave", and called it stalking. A lot more detail, but these people have 1000's of fake Facebook profiles. I was tracked down in real life, drugged, and they attempted to SWAT me. I have found 10 profiles with modified pictures of me, and countless others of Angie, Paulie, and a few people I have met in the past year. The police wont return my calls, I reached out to the local paper, the City P.D.., and the Indiana Gaming Commission. I am scared. I believe, this all happened, because they saw my HSX page, where my Portfolio is worth $600 Million.
(Cara Beckerle has been booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail on drug charges. According to the jail's website, the mother of Aleah Beckerle was brought in at 12:18 Friday morning. Beckerle is charged with possession of methamphetamine. According to an affidavit of probable cause obtained by Eyewitness News, Beckerle was arrested by a member of security at the Tropicana casino. The court document states that Beckerle was sitting at a slot machine around 10:27 p.m. Thursday when she could be seen reaching into her left coat pocket. Casino officials said something fell from her pocket onto the floor, landing under her chair. At 11:01 p.m. the item was still under the chair, where casino security picked it up. According to security, there was a white powdery substance in the item. The white substance was inside a clear baggie. The Indiana Gaming Commission office then tested the powder that did positively show as methamphetamine. ) After watching this story for over a year I'm happy that something recent came up on her. Many believed that she had cleaned up her act, but she hasn't changed a bit. Aleah Beckerle hasn't received justice yet. Yes we have Demarco Roachs son Terrence Wayne Roach who confessed to the crime, however, I'm still not convinced that he acted alone. Aleah Beckerles body was found in an abandoned house 3 miles from her home. The woman who claimed that she stumbled upon the body told her incarcerated boyfriend FIRST about the discovery, in order for him to cut a deal. She was deemed a hero and claimed that she's a changed woman after finding Aleah. However, she hasn't. She's still getting arrested for Meth and stealing cars. She was arrested a week ago. She collected almost $10,000 in reward money and I'm certain that Cathy Elaine Murray has blown through it all. Aleahs mother, Cara Beckerle has received much support. Many sided with her during her daughters disappearance. However, I've always considered her to be the reason her daughter is dead. Her negligence is what killed Aleah. She may not pay for what happened to Aleah, but this arrest just goes to show you that she wasn't turning her life around as she claimed. #justiceforaleah #aleahbeckerle
